Covid and the associated lockdowns are likely to be the biggest disruptive event to occur in most of our lifetimes. There are huge global changes coming as a result. The OECD is forecasting the worst recession in a century. But expect to see far more change than just a recession. Many industries have been disrupted, and there are extreme winners and losers. After we go through the recovery phase, expect to see people reinventing their lives, and companies reinventing their businesses. In this presentation, I take a look at these powerful global changes, and the other forces at work. I give some idea of how the world will change, looking at the winners and the losers. I then drop down a level to look at the macroeconomic impacts of Covid, and then take a look at how the Tech industry is impacted. Finally I take a look at how this might impact your SaaS company, and provide you with detailed advice on how you might need to react to position yourselves to thrive in the new world that is coming.
